Happy Father’s Day gentlemen.
I just drove a ‘74 2.0 car from central OR down the coast back to SoCal (great trip, car was totally reliable) and somewhere on a single lane carving through the redwoods outside Eureka I wondered “yeah, the extra power would be nice but would it make the car feel heavier”. So,is there a trade off in perceived weight or having the car be less eager to dance that comes with a /6 conversion? My intention is to keep whatever car I covert a narrow body and subtle so built GTs aren’t really the best point of feedback. Thanks! |

The /6 can do ( all day long) what a big 4 can do for
( 90 mins ) On. Angeles crest But as colin champman would say There is no replacement for "performance thru lightweight" So i personally stay away from /6 build/dreams And i rarely run my big /4 for longer then 90 mins So works out well for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Not that im not tempted With a 3.6 in the fs forum here for 18k Temptation is everywhere |
